There’s something special going on at the Seacoast Waldorf School in Eliot, starting this summer, and it goes beyond an exceptional education.

On Tuesdays, a unusual agricultural enterprise called Misty Brook Farm sets up a tent on school grounds and sells meats, milk and vegetables it produces organically.

The school has been a pickup point before for regular shares of produce from area farms, known as CSAs, in keeping with a holistic approach to education and living. But this new relationship is extra special, given Misty Brook’s adherence to many of the biodynamic farming practices started by Waldorf founder Rudolph Steiner in Germany in the early 1900s.

Misty Brook now is based in Albion, Maine. One might ask, why would an operation up in Central Maine offer its products in Eliot?

Fate and opportunity.

Misty Brook is owned and operated by Brendan and Katia Holmes who began farming on rented land in Barre, Mass., in 2005.

They raised dairy cows, pigs and chickens along with vegetables and grains in a sustainable cycle that enriches the land and produces high quality, organic food. Soon their products gained a real following in the Boston area.

They were running out of room, however, and finally found enough affordable land, but it was up in Central Maine. Last year they rented the 400-acre farm in Albion. This spring they purchased it and have been relocating the Massachusetts operation. The move will be complete this fall.

The more you know about their practices the more it makes you, well, hungry.

The animals are rotated in cycles through the fields, growing fat on the grass and other crops but also enriching the soil for the next season. It’s a wholesome mix that yields healthier animals and plants and better food for us.

The 30 Jersey cows, known for their high natural milk fat content, are fed exclusively on grass. As they chomp contentedly through a field they enrich it with you know what.

The 400 laying hens follow to peck away at greenery and bugs and produce the kinds of deep yellow egg yolks that stand tall. The birds sold for meat are mighty tasty as well. And they leave behind still more natural fertilizer for the next crop.

Finally, the 20 heritage Tamworth sows and their piglets are turned loose to root around and grow fat on what’s left, creating the kind of bacon and hams cooks dream about. All the while aerating the soil and adding still more nutrients.

The gem of the operation is the Jersey cows’ milk and cream, which are sold raw. Fans of raw milk come from far and wide for the natural nutrients and healthy qualities.

The farm’s owners embrace Waldorf methods for their own children and as luck would have it, one of their employees has family in Eliot. Hence the connection with Seacoast Waldorf School and the collaboration.

Katia Holmes said Eliot is within a reasonable drive for her Boston area customers. The farm bought a refrigerated truck to move product down to the school every Tuesday where it’s for sale from 3-5:30 p.m.

The farm brings down CSA shares purchased by its regulars, but also has a full range of products available for sale to anyone who drops by. It tries to offer everything a person would need for a complete diet of organic foods.

This is why it also grows grains that it has milled so it can sell organic flour to add to the mix.

Holmes said they eventually hope to establish a permanent farm stand location in the Seacoast area and open other spots in Maine. Meanwhile, the farm’s products will be at the school every Tuesday. Watch for the sign out on Route 236.

It has worked out well for Misty Brook Farm but also for Seacoast families who want to eat better.

The school also is delighted. Tricia Frey, faculty chair, said not only do the farm’s practices fit right in with school philosophy but having such wholesome products available right there is a plus for students’ families. She has enjoyed all the great vegetables for sale but is especially partial to the rich cream.
